Aaron Judge Breaks Home Run Record With 62!

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit his 62nd home run of the 2022 MLB season on Tuesday night, breaking the American League single-season home run record.

Judge hit a leadoff homer in the first inning of Yankees’ game against the Texas Rangers, giving New York a 1-0 lead in the second game of a doubleheader on Tuesday.

Last month, the 30-year-old tied the record set by Roger Maris in 1961 in the Yankees’ 8-3 win against the Toronto Blue Jays, having previously hit his 60th home run — which tied a previous record set by Babe Ruth in 1927 — during New York’s 9-8 walk-off win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 20 at Yankee Stadium.

Judge also managed to hit 60 home runs in fewer games than both Yankee legends, which has long been a debate over the validity of Maris’ record.

Ruth had initially set the record in 154 games, while Maris broke the  record in 162 games after the league had previously extended the total amount of games in a season.

Judge hit his 60th home run in 147 games and his 61st in 155 games.

NY Giant’s Sterling Shepard’s Season Is Over Due To Torn ACL

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will miss the remainder of the 2022 NFL season due to a torn ACL, head coach Brian Daboll announced during a press conference.

Shepard went down with a non-contact injury during the final minutes of the 23-16 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys and had initial tests after the game.

Shepard is coming off an Achilles injury that took place midway through the 2021 season and had recorded 13 receptions for 154 yards and a touchdown in three games during the 2022 season.

The former Oklahoma standout was selected by the Giants at No. 40 overall in the second-round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Shepard currently has 362 career receptions for 4,038 yards and 22  touchdowns, as well as 23 rushing attempts for 180 yards and one touchdown during his seven-year NFL career.

QB Zach Wilson Leads Jets Over Steelers

The Jets beat the Steelers 24-20 at Acrisure Stadium, erasing a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit for their second win of the season and second win ever in this city.

It was far from a perfect performance from Zach Wilson in his season debut, but he delivered when the Jets needed him to in the fourth quarter.

Rookie running back Breece Hall scored the game-winning touchdown, a 2-yard plunge with 16 seconds left. It initially looked like Hall fumbled the ball, but a replay showed he crossed the goal line before losing it.

The touchdown capped an 11-play, 65-yard drive that started when Jets cornerback Michael Carter II intercepted Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett on a tipped pass at the Jets’ 35 with 3:34 left.

It felt like the Jets were dead when the Steelers took a 20-10 lead with 13:36 left in the game on Pickett’s second rushing touchdown. The Steelers replaced Mitch Trubisky with Pickett to start the second half and he gave the Steelers a jolt of energy.

Wilson completed 19 of 37 passes for 252 yards with one passing touchdown, one receiving touchdown and two interceptions.

The Jets move to 2-2 this season, having pulled off two dramatic comebacks. This was not quite as miraculous as the win in Cleveland, but it was every bit as impressive.
